I went on a mission today, but unfortunately, it was not “mission accomplished.”

I was hoping to find a cable with a USB plug on one end and RCA plugs on the other.  That way, I could patch a cassette deck into my laptop and record some of the quartet’s music onto the hard drive with the ultimate goal of burning it onto a CD.  Most of the stuff we get comes on CDs already, so it’s a simple drag and drop operation to make the master disk.  But that darn analog stuff is making me crazy.

Since I had to go to WalMart for Charmin and dog food anyway, I thought I would see what I could find there.  They have cables for HDMI, S-video, RCA, quarter-inch, coaxial, USB in five different configurations, and a whole lot more, but none of them combines the two specific ends I needed.  I couldn’t find an adaptor to buy one of each and join them, either.

I guess I’ll either have to go to Circuit City (something I dread) or scour the internet.  Who knows if they even make one of those things?  Why do I frustrate myself like this?  Sheesh!
